Kitchen that la cocina. Southern exposure sent you an email yesterday morning saying that also, although they were tricked into supporting this, theyre not supporting this project. Theyre standing with the mission community, and the only people that are supporting it are the people that received money from four point foundation. And the 100 people that lori and i have, and the other 100 that kevin has, these are people that oppose this large scale project. Kevin is going to keep talking about it, and if you have any questions, ive lived on this street before 1984. I remember before tim bubuk2 c, and they already destroyed that block, and now theyre saying now they cant afford it. But they bought the building. They got it for a song 20 years ago. Its not an economic situation, its a greed situation, and its more money and more rent to be made off of my block, and it needs to be scaled off and not have 1,000 people dropped off in front of my house every day. Kevin ortiz, united save the mission. Four port is the fourth largest brewery in San Francisco. This contributes to the mass cultural collapse of the Mission District its currently facing. Timbuk2 is also a very successful business. Theyve been in the neighborhood 28 years. Theyre an Enterprise Business with 25 locations nationally. They previously, like spike mentioned, evicted the previous tenants, three local businesses. They evicted their tenants and then signed a lease with four point before actually conferring with the community. So this loophole in the code, code 40, to allow group hub space to seat 150 people and serve beer and hot dogs located on a small extremely quiet corner will bring in a massive influx of cars and parking. We have two thirds of extra drivers in the city, as a report came out in the examiner earlier this year, due to ride sharing. This is only going to affect this neighborhood and this corner. Alcohol spurs monsters, and bringing alcohol into a controlled alcohol special use district devotes the purpose this was created for. The average latino makes 37 k for a family of four. This is not an affordable price point unless they go eat there once or twice a year. When it comes to small businesses, 20 of the customers drive 80 of the revenues. Its a block and a half away from the high school, and i would urge you guys to keep that mind because its going to be open from 11 00 a. M. To midnight. Its just irresponsible. Id like to read some comments from the petition that we have here from 200 people that have signed online. Our neighborhood does not need more alcohol. We need more services, Grocery Stores, butcher shops, basic res, health centers. We are an adult working community, not a disneyland. This brewer reis out of scale for the neighborhood. Please reject this brew pub. Ive lived in the mission since 1970. This will make the traffic and parking just terrible. I manufacture in sf. We are in a pdr crisis and need to keep pdr and not use it for brewerys and restaurant. Stop the alternative uses and loss of pdr space. Thank you for your time. President hillis thank you very much, and well open this item up for general Public Comment. I dont have speaker cards, but if youd like to lineup on the screen side of the room. Heres some more petitions, and i wanted to say that also, theres been 23 restaurant conversions so far in the mission from retail into these restaurants and bars, and theres another half a dozen in the pipeline. We put these cus the reason 2020 put cus on this type of conversion is because of the detriment to our Community Neighborhood serving businesses, and the whole point is to allow you a tool in order to listen to the community and scale down these type of things. The only thing again compared to Pacific Brewery clerk thank you. Your time is up. Okay. President hillis next speaker, please. Hello. My name is mary mendoza, and i was a teacher at john oconor high school in the past, and an educator for many years, and i wanted to speak to the fact of this brewery being so close to the high school and in terms of the ride shares . I dont know if any of you have teenagers or who have ever worked with teenagers. Theyre very in their heads and teenage worlds. So in terms of crossing the street and having to deal with the ride share cars, for the most part, where ive seen them, theyre in the crosswalks where theyre dropping people off and not necessarily taking into consideration the pedestrians who were crossing that thats super problematic. So its at a very high a very high walking area for the teenagers who dont just get out of school at a certain hour. They get out after tutoring, they get out after sports, so its a continuance of the students walking through that area. In addition, theres already a bar across the street, located dreektly across the street, i believe shot wells. Theres also a long to think brewery a little further down next to the school on the corner next to the school. Not on 20th, but i guess it must be on 19th. And then, the pacific southern Pacific Brewery, which is kind of an oddity. My first school that i taught at was potrero hill which was upsmell from anchor steam, and i dont know if youve ever gone there, but having worked there, its an extremely strong smell. Its something that the children when they go out into the yard, that they play in. Its a regular when you go to work every day, its something that you smell. So im wanting to take those safety concerns into consideration. Thank you. President hillis thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good evening. Hi name is angelica perez. I was born and raised in the mission. Im living in the house that my grandmother bought in 1965, back when nobody wanted to live there. Now everybody wants to live there. Shot wells, schmidts, homestead, benders, southern Pacific Brewery. Its a nightmare. Alamo dress house, booty bar. I didnt bring my paperwork im going to tell you who else we have there. We have hookers who are attracted to the new money in the neighborhood. We have noise, we have vomit. We dont have respect. We have heard the people coming in from thursday through sunday. Its like a frat party coming off there. What we dont have is Grocery Stores within a reasonable distance. We dont have parking for the local people. Half a block on folsom street is taken up by the school, and the Fire Department takes up the other half of 19th street, so its really super dense. Lyft uses my front driveway as their drop off and pick up point, uber whatever, all these people, all the time. Were not a vegas strip. This is not a disneyland for adults. Yes, im the one that wrote that there. We have enough. Is this necessary . Is there no other place to go get a beer and a hot dog . Can we not bring in a grocery store, bakery, Community Services . Its ridiculous, you know in were being inundated there. Thank you very much. President hillis thank you. Im eric, latino culture district, and we are opposed to the cu for four point. In the mission, we lost a lot of blue collar jobs which are longterm and stable and actually pay better than, you know, baristas in the area. The space was used by an auto shop, welding shop and tattoo parlor, and they were evicted by timbuk2, who said they need more space, and now, they have extra space and theyre renting it out to four point. Thats not desirable or necessary in this neighborhood. Yes, this is not hard liquor, its beer and wine, but it still is liquor, and it will still get you drunk if you drink enough of it. What were seeing a lot in the mission is a lot of wine and beer spaces opening up under the restaurant code. They have to have 51 of the payroll receipts in food, and what happens is theyre not making those amounts, and its not being enforced by the planning department. We have called on that, and were not seeing that especially forced. We have four places in the Mission District that they took the tables out, and you just stand around and eat food. The other thing is were not prohibitionists, but were seeing large places, thats a saturated area thats predominantly a family neighborhood. This is an area that historically has been, you know, inundated with liquor. Theres theres a problem with this concentration of liquor in these areas, especially in low income communities. The department of Public Health is actually looking the tenderloin, the mission, and the bayview, so just so you guys are ware, that this is happening right now, and were just still continuing to inundate or neighborhoods with these problems. Thank you. President hillis thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Hello again. Im speaking here today to ask you to not approve this project. As a resident and member of the community here whove had a lot of family whove grownup specifically in that area and gone to school at John Oconnell, i can attest that area is already saturated with adult entertainment. Again, a lot of people mention them already, benders, shot wells, southern Pacific Brewery right next to John Oconnell high school, and theyre asking you to approve another brewery right across. Too often the needs of the community is being put wayside. Its the needs of a grocery, of a bakery. Sometimes we take that for granted, but me personally growing up on capp street, and only recently, grocer outlet just opened up, that is a big thing for people who do not have cars or have to take Public Transit for something as basic as getting food. By getting rid of any of the space to be a welder, be a workman, that essentially ends and cuts their careers completely, and one those spaces are gone, theyre gone forever. We will never get them back. Everything about this project is not being done in the right way. Theres a right way and a wrong way and theres a middle ground, but this one is just too much in a neighborhood that has already seen too much of the same. Thank you. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Thank you. Commissioners. My names daniel. Im a director with four point beer company, and im here to ask you to support this project. Im going to be the staff member whos directly responsible for overseeing this project, as well as our Community Engagement team which works directly with nonprofits and Community Organizations throughout San Francisco. And you know what really drives me with the passion is with this project is the relationships that you create at these spaces, the education you provide people for uniquely american uniquely San Francisco crafted product, you cant find this anywhere else, and im really dedicated to creating a space that is safe, thats inclusive, thats open, thats friendly, that anyone from the community can come and enjoy their time at and get to know four point and get to know what we make and what we do in the city, so once again, thank you very much for your time, and i ask you to approve this project. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. My name is jeff hargo. Currently, im an employee at four point, and going on two years. Just wanted to attest to the opportunities ive definitely been afor the recorded while working for four point as well as all my coworkers. Ive been able to train on a lot of things i didnt think i would work with and take skills that id be definitely able to take elsewhere. And weve lost to some employees being trained and being able to take that on with them to better opportunities. I think this project will definitely help a San Francisco manufacturer that can bring more jobs in an industry that i think sometimes is closing in this city which is a little nerveracking. Having grownup in a neighborhood just adjacent to the neighborhood, over in glen park, ive seen a lot of neighborhoods change, and a lot of industries kind of shutdown, and being a carpenters son, kind of nerveracking, wanting to pursue that same area, working with my hands. This is definitely an opportunity for more jobs of that nature. Thank you again for your time. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening, commissioners, and staff. Thank you for your time tonight. My names mike, and im the head brewer at fort point, and ive worked with justin for the past five years, and im responsible for the production there and the creation of this brewery technician program. I just wanted to speak a little bit to the manufacturing jobs that we would be creating at this location. A big focus of mine and something thats extremely important to me as we were developing the team at fort point was to create jobs that are meaningful to the people that have them, that provide value to them and skills that they can take with them, whether its with fort point or with another brewery or even with another industry. I think a unique things about the skills you learn at a brewery, they are transferrable to a number of other industries, and im proud of the success weve had with this program. Weve had a few employees go onto start businesses of their own. And i think this unique kind of trains, these unique kind of jobs that were able to offer would be of great benefit to the neighborhood, so i would ask that you give your approval of this project, and want to say that were extremely looking forward to working with the community and the mission and moving forward. Thank you. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. My names katey. Im an artworking in San Francisco. I work at the San Francisco art institute, and we submitted a letter of support for this project. My organizations been a beneficiary of fort points generosity. Weve experienced firsthand their commitment to the cultural fabric of San Francisco over the past several years. Its been inspiring to see fort point grow over the past four years. In addition, ive lived in the mission for over a decade. I walk and ride my bike around the neighborhood. I support the addition of a grandfathering Community Oriented place, especially when its connected to a company thats demonstrated they want to really be a fabric of San Francisco. These are the kinds of businesses we should be supporting in friSan Franciscod the Mission District local leoned, locally operated. Thank you. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Commissioners, so i just mainly got inspired to come up and speak because i just want to highlight on the for us long time residency, obvious disconnect. We hear the words community, integrated, contribute to the fabric of society, and honestly, its doesnt come across as genuine, and youve got to walk your talk what does that mean . What does that really look like . Theres an influx. Theres too much of these businesses . Whats going to happen . There theres just going to be businesses and no residents . This is too much. This is excess, and please, were asking you, please consider not approving this this project. What good is this really going to do for yes, jobs, but people what options are there . Its getting harder and harder to find jobs, so people have to go to Service Industries for much longer than they really want to because its a cycle, really. I mean, come on. We dont need more brewerys right next to high schools. Thats very just disrespectful, so please, just consider not being a part of this cycle of gentrification. President hillis thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon good evening, commissioners. Im a resident. I dont live in the mission, but i urge you to vote against this project. I work for a startup, kind of the demographic that fort points looking for. I can tell you that theres not a problem with the amount of brewerys in the city, let alone the mission. I think we should respect the people that have been living there, our respect you know, its their area, and i just want to talk a little bit about growth. Like, i think when we use the words local, it just sounds good. Its almost like when we say organic, but blue bottle is local, and they just got bought out my nestle. Its just so superficial. Fort point is not bad people, but theres just so many brewerys already. We just dont need it, out of pure respect, and thats not what the community wants. Thank you. President hillis thank you. Is there additional Public Comment . [ inaudible ] president hillis sure, you can pass that on. [ inaudible ] president hillis correct. Thank you. Seeing no additional Public Comment, well close Public Comment. Commissioner fong . Commissioner fong thank you. Just a few clarifying questions and thoughts. This is it is manufacturing. This is a commercial building with existing commercial use. Its been there quite a while, a quite a well established one. I do feel that timbuk2 is creating assembly jobs. It sounds like fort point would be creating some Manufacturing Assembly jobs, as well, at different levels, you know sort of higher experience, skill level, but also Restaurant Service jobs. Curious to the staff. Its midnight theyre allowed to stay open to 2 00 a. M. , but theyre opting for 12 00 midnight on weekends . Correct. Commissioner fong and whats their thought on week nights. Theyre permitted to operate from 6 00 a. M. To 2 00 a. M. Every night of the week, so theyre proposing not to operate. Commissioner fong okay. A couple of questions for the project sponsor, if you could come up. There was concern about venting. Do you know if theres sufficient venting to the roof and not out yeah. The brewery operation will be vented through a similar to a type two kitchen hood which could have anode or eliminating unit attached to it if that is a concern. We actually have stradled two concerns with the community. One part of the so weve had to kind of balance that and do a selfimposed limit, but that will be vented similar to a kitchen hood. The kitchen will have a full regular type one hood, as well, so this is group penetration, which is our understanding are fi
